Question:
Any suggestions on how I can get the water in?

I'm having a tough time with the water. I try to drink as much as I can but cannot seem to get it in. I seem to get nausea from it. I'm only a little less than 2 months post-op RNY. I've tried Crystal lite & I like it but it doesn't seem to make it any easier. Any other suggestions? Thanks!    — Allison T. (posted on May 29, 2002)

I found that warm water went down easier than cold or even room temp. I also found weak herbal tea helped. I was an occassional tea drinker pre-op now I have 3-4 cups a day. If I didn't have tea available I had plain water with a packet of Splenda in it for a flavor change. The whole water thing got a lot easier about 4 months!
